mount readable for everyone using udisks-glue

  • 772

i'm trying to setup automount solution for usb drives on ubuntu 12.04 Server. I decided to use udisks with udisks-glue. Unfortunately when I try to use option user for mounting it fails:

udisks --mount /dev/sdb1 --mount-options user
Mount failed: Mount option user is not allowed

Without the user option the directory is only readable by root.

I also tried using umask=000 in the options, the dir permission change but still it's empty for the normal user, I can read only while being root. The same problem happens when using udisks from command line as a regular user and from init scripts. only the owner of the directories created changes, but in both situations I can't read as a regular user.

Is it possible to mount using udisks to be readable for everyone? Best regards Yemu

  1. If /dev/sdb1 is ntfs filesystem, you should make sure ntfs-3g has been installed. Then just 

    sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 ./yourdir

    and it can be read/write by all users.
